quickbread - quinoa banana bread

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup flour (or 1 cup flour and 3/4 cup oats?)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup cooked and cooled quinoa
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup lowfat, plain Greek yogurt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a loaf pan by greasing it with butter.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a large bowl, mix together bananas, quinoa, egg, melted butter and yogurt.

Add the dry ingredients, a half cup at a time, to the banana mixture, mixing thoroughly.

Pour into prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out dry.

I only baked mine for 50 minutes which surprised me because my oven usually is not so reliable.
